I didn’t come here to make friends – Book Review
From the Step by Step Blog
by Mayte Mata Sivera
Brief review of the book
For those that are interested in reading this book, take this book as a summer lecture, at entertainment book, this is not the PMBOK ® or one of those business manuals, this is only for fun…or not?
Título: No he venido aquí a hacer amigos, Desventuras de un consultor IT
Autor: Jaime Miranda
Editorial: Lengua de Trapo
For all you, this is my own brief and personal opinion.
Is it Fiction o reality? I don’t know, I’ve never tried to contact the author, this book explains the day to day activities of an IT consultant and all those bad moments that he suffered because of the non-ethical behavior of their manager which whom he will have during the history a very special relationship.
This book is not only for entertainment, also you can read and find in it all this “worst practices” with unfortunately more that one we had found in our professional life.
Not only this book, but also some of my bad work experiences made me as I’m now, an IT project manager worried not only about my day to day tasks also about ethical, volunteer and mentoring in order to avoid that in IT world unethical managers, unethical leads continuing destroying the dreams and the careers of newly or futures great minds and project managers.

Hi Maria, I found the book on Amazon -> https://www.amazon.com/Venido-Aqui-Hacer-Amigos-Desventuras/dp/8496080439/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478896730&sr=8-1&keywords=No he venido aquí a hacer amigos, Desventuras de un consultor IT;
but no English version. I would like to read it. My Spanish is not too good; but I may still purchase it so I can practice. Was it a quick read? I do not see the number of pages either.
That's true, there isn't the English version. And also I think, this is the only book of the author.
It is a very quick read 224 pages. Challenge yourself with a book in a foreign language, but I don't know if this will be a nice start, maybe too much slang for start.
Maybe I could use Google Translate? I may still do this because I am interested in improving my Spanish. Plus it sounds like it is entertaining.
worst option bad ever no never and ever garbage in out lol noooooo (Promoted by google translator)
Only kidding, but no, don't use google translator to improve your language skills. There are some small readings that maybe will fit more with your needs, let me check and I'll come back to you.
I'm reading now harry potter to improve my English :) I'm not ashamed for that.
No, I am really listening to you. What are your thoughts using Dulingo? I have not read any of the Harry Potter books; but seen parts of some of the movies. Don't be ashamed for it. I would think some of the slang/jargon in those books would be somewhat challenging to understand as well. I guess with any language the more you use it either reading or speaking the better you become.
